Sleep-darting a Lucio that is skating around the Ilios well is the best thing in this world.

Just because Liquor's dead, doesn't mean you can just roll this bitch all over town with "The Freedoms."

Better than standing in front of the edge as Roadhog, hooking someone, then emoting "Hello" as they fall in?

It's a close thing, but that could happen to anyone. Sleep darting the Lucio is explicitly showing him that he died of his own hubris.

That's because it's an opinion, not a rule.

Some people like deathballing and mashing into eachother and some like small skirmishes around the map.

then maybe they should play dm servers instead

you know what happens to FPS games with one complicated well-balanced mode that requires thought and teamwork and also deathmatch

in six months they're deathmatch games and the other mode is populated exclusively by bots

If you are doing this and not using Hog's "Hook, Line, Sinker" voice line then you are objectively doing it wrong.... same goes for Illios well

Yeah roadhog's lines are kinda sub par till the right context comes along then sweet lord is it great. Kill a genji or tracer "like takin candy from a baby" is pro tier as well

no because I was introduced to tf2 by watching people play/talking with friends and all my friends who played it had already told me 2fort was terrible

Had a game where the Lucio player was playing reggae constantly over the mic and the other team mates were whining about it but i enjoyed it. I ended up getting a 22 kill streak with Junkrat bunnyhopping to some sick beats.

Yes, it was, because it was so stacked in favor of defending your flag(intelligence) because of how you had to walk right past their spawn twice in a close quarters that matches were mind numbingly slow if teams were at all balanced.

I've never seen 2fort that wasn't ctf anyways, so I'm not sure why that'd change things

Lol, 24/7 pub tf2 was usually only being played by 3 out of 20 people at any given time.

I didn't mind it being a defensive map, since the flag didn't reset on touches.
Anyways, I liked it.

I main tracer, and I always find a non-feckless junkrat to be more hassle than he's worth. His propensity to easily get 120 from his conc, and 80-120 from his m1, nevermind his traps, make him a risky pick at best.

Dude I loving loved 24/7 2fort. As an actual map, god no, but as a place to pop in for 15 minutes and gently caress around practicing aim/shooting people in the water, it was unbeatable.

Are you in or are you out?
No matter who you are, if the Junkrat doesn't suck take an extra clip or two to stay out of range of a quick burst mine and lucky pills and he'll consistently be easy to dodge and easy to kill. That puts the onus on him to hit you with lovely projectiles instead of on you to juke instant death. Keeping him at range also means less chance of stepping on a trap, and usually wherever the trap was you didn't need to be there to kill him.

I don't want to be mean, but I think this says more about your tracer than junkrat. :/

I've started trying out Winston some more, following the previous in depth guide. He's a breath of fresh air for nailing squirrely targets that tend to be difficult to hit when I use hitscan characters.

I had a fellow Ana nanoboost me right when my own ult was wearing off and it was a great ape rampage I unleashed on the other team.

she does though

junkrat has a really easy head to target, a low clip size on slow, inaccurate projectiles, and 200 hp. killing junkrat is easier than killing zenyatta and killing zenyatta is like tracer's whole purpose in existence.

it's probably closer to even in an enclosed space and every once in a while you won't spot the trap in time but that matchup is absolutely in her favor
